Hello Fellow A to Zers! Here is the latest installment of my ongoing fiction.Name: Marquessa Matthews Blog: Simply MarquessaA to Z Theme: Hawaii Letter M: Malasadas "Galen shifted closer and softly dusted off my cheek with his thumb. My body jolted at the touch of his fingertips on my skin and I found myself placing my hand over his to stop him. Without thinking, I gently parted my mouth and slowly licked my lips, taking his thumb into my mouth..."Link: http://marquessamatthews.com/2017/04/14/malasadas/MALASADAS

May I make a small suggestion for next year? I haven't done this before, officially, anyway... So I'm finding the daily routine fiddly and time consuming. That doesn't matter so much now, as I'm on holidays, but next week I return to work. I like to do my posts in advance, saving them in draft form till the time comes to post them. Sunday, for example, I can prepare about three posts. But each day I have to return to this site BEFORE posting, collect the letter of the day, return to my draft to add it, post, create my clickable link, then back to this site to add my post to the comments. If you would consider putting together all the letters next time, those of us who prepare posts in advance could save them and only have to visit this site once.

This is a great idea for next year! I wrote all my posts in advance (like as soon as I heard about this challenge) and just saved them all in a folder on my desktop. So now I have to wait till the letter of the day badge is posted here, come get it, go to my blog, add my entry for the day with the day's badge, then come back here to post my link. If I could get all the letters at once, then all I'd have to come here for every day would be to post my link, and to find other people's links that aren't showing up on a daily basis in my emails. But I'm loving this too, I'm even trying to think of something to do next month to keep this momentum going (this is the most I've ever posted on my blog, other than book reviews and a couple mini-rants). I have so many writing prompts saved on Pinterest that I haven't used yet, so earlier I was thinking I could use some of those, write little one-shots or longer stories or whatever, and start posting them every day. Or do what someone else on here's been doing, use a random word generator, then free write till I run out of ideas.

I'm puzzled by this. I saved all the letters from a to z before revealing my theme (which was only two days before the challenge began, granted). I uploaded them all to my blog's library before starting to write the posts. I'm not sure where I got them from, but it must have been somewhere on this site.

Sue, it's actually quite simple. It's the same link every day, except the date and the letter which you can just replace for each individual post, do you know what I mean?So for Monday the link is going to be http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/2017/04/atozchallenge-4-17-2017-letter-n.html
